Golden Plains Shire Council in partnership with Red Flag Leadership and Safer Together Victoria is hosting a community workshop on Sunday 8 September from 10am to 12pm at the Dereel Community Hall to assist residents with what to do in a bushfire scenario.
Facilitated by Jamie Mackenzie from Red Flag Leadership, the workshop will explore the realities faced in an emergency or disaster and how those challenged may be tackled – breaking down what’s required and developing the skills necessary to look after each other and the visitors in the town.
Participants will learn more about the importance of recovery leadership and the challenges of making decisions under stress, gain tips on how to manage stress and uncertainty in an emergency and share their knowledge with other members in the community by working together to develop a community response to emergency.
Light refreshments will be provided.
